This clip reminded me just how much Tom's comedy works from his delivery. Some of his concepts are clever, some are just unusual situations, some are very good.... but even the simplest work because of his rare ability to hang in there no matter what. His voice reflected no sign of anticipation, impatience, change in emotion whatsoever when most people would lose it or run away. His control is marvelous
for real, I wish Tom Green didn't get such a cultural stigma around him for being an asshole/troll. He's like if Andy Kaufman got stuck in the women's wrestling phase of his career. I would love to hear interviews with how he was able to keep it together in this situation, or how he would practice not laughing. Aesthetically, I also love how lo-fi they are, as much as I love comedy that takes advantage of editing or framing, it's great to see that he can capture so much with so little. I watched Freddy Got FIngered again recently (that's why I'm watching these videos), and he is seriously underrated...it's amazing that that movie got made. It's like a Vienniese Actionist performance piece + a david lynch film + a traditional rom com...so great!
It worked because Asians naturally obey dominance/submissive rules. In this case Tom is dominant as a taller white person slightly older whereas the Asian boy views himself as a shorter Asian servant. Since he is the submissive person he went along without questioning even after it was obviously a prank/joke
This is how i imagine purgatory. Being a sandwhich shop employee who never finishes the sandwhich, with Tom going "a little mayonaise, i guess..." for eternity.
Tom Green’s delivery is amazing. The way he words everything just makes it so perfect. The “as well” and “I guess” just makes it so much more awkward and deadpan.
Knowing Tom I'm about 99% sure he was. Quite obviously for the lulz but no more scripted than your average prank call or fng around with telemarketers/scammers.
Seriously. I'm not sure if the employees at the Subway location near my job actually got hired of if they're fulfilling some kind of court ordered service.
After watching 3000 times, I realize the background music is really what ties all of this together. The EQ mix is phenomenal and creates a nice balance with Tom’s voice.
@Robert Jordan I remember the first time I had a sub. They used to be way bigger and just fresh. I hate going there now actually go to Mr. Sub now which I never thought I would do.
Ah damn! Thats too much. We're going to have to start over again. Some lettuce, couple tomatoes, a little mayonnaise, couple pickles. Yeah best you repeat that about a dozen times😂
this is honestly, in my opinion, the greatest "live reaction" or "man on the street" gag ever performed. its simple, understated and nuanced. simply pushing against a silent convention we all assume to be true: you cant just keep adding veggies to your sub at Subway forever
@@cainification Good thing we have you available to let us all know that which we may have missed. CLAP CLAP CLAP AND A PAT ON THE BACK TO YOU FOR SURE.
@@mude.mcmudskipper8907 heck yeah man, anytime :) Oh and speaking of missing things, you missed the 'g' when you wrote think instead of THING. Lol you silly goose!
Yep, I was constantly washing my hands at my first job in food service at 15. We didn’t wear gloves. Honestly, gloves are much easier to cross contaminate, because people are under the impression that since they’re wearing gloves they can touch anything and everything...it’s not like people are washing gloves.
@@richie9308we cleaned and dried out hands before make eag sandwich though. Also, that guy moved to New Orleans and became one of the most notorious serial killers in US history.
the genius to this is its not a repetitive order, usually after the lettuce, tomato and mayo he throws in an extra vegetable to make the employee think that the customer needs something different. After about 6 rounds of this, the employee knows whats up and the sandwich is piling up too much lol
Tom green will always be one of my all time favorite comedians. Just to be able to spend even 10 minutes hanging out with the man I would have the best time of my life 😆
Tom..thanks for bringing back these classics..you on Cogeco was the thing in Ottawa for your early fans... I met you in the Byward Market "Taped to a Light Pole" ...... These are the days of the "Pranks on your Parents" ... My Gosh your mother was the foil of many.. bless her... It's nice to reminisce.... but let's see more of these pleasant interactions.. I quite enjoyed the video driving with your mom ... stopping at the take out and sharing the food back home with your father.
it's hard to genuinely laugh at stuff on TH-cam because people try so hard, but Tom was natural, I believe the first well on camera. He's the poster child for all the shenanigans that live on the interwebs.
Watching this now so many years have passed since that sandwich was made. What are the atoms of the lettuce, the tomato, the pepper, the Mayo, what are they doing now? How many systems have they passed through? What do they form now?
I tried this once. I asked for a ton of tomatoes. Enough to make the sandwich soggy as shit. I paid for it. Then the lady was so distraught that she took out the employee handbook to see if she should have charged me up the ass for all that tomato. What can i say? I love tomatoes.
honestly, no resturant line cooks use gloves normally aside from some prep work. you usually only see gloves being used when the food prep is visible to the customers. The gloves are only there to make people feel better. proper hand washing and foodsafe practices are more than adequate (when there isnt a global pandemic on, that is...)
The Graceful Savage you do have a point here in FLA tho gloves are imperative whether your just cutting veggies or your dropping wings in the fryer , plus I’ve been cooking for over ten years and I hate getting my hands all nasty when I’m trying to prep meat or anything really. It’s definitely not as comfortable if u weren’t wearing gloves but i just dislike having to wash my hands every 2mins .

back in the 90's food workers didnt give a shit this guys actually probably laughing but is holding it back lol.
Yeah, most deli workers roll their eyes if you tell them not to squirt the mustard on the veggies.😂
Deli clerk isn't a real title.
Legend. So ahead of his time
Have you heard of Andy Kaufman boy?
*crack* *sip* Now Andy Kaufman... there's a legend of our time *sip*
🥓 he was a behaved boi oiio
Kevin Charles if this is borderline mental retardation, Jake Paul must be institutionalized, comatose schizophrenic
Legend has it he's still ordering for a little bit more lettuce and other toppings... =(
"Do you have oil" hahahaha
"Little oil"
Ah damn! Thats too much. We're going to have to start over again.
Some lettuce, couple tomatoes, a little mayonnaise, couple pickles. Yeah best you repeat that about a dozen times😂
Him picking up and carrying that ridiculous sandwich had me laughing so hard.
I feel like he ever so slightly plopped it down to showcase the heft
So thats why Subway is soo greedy about adding extra toppings now
If you ordered this today it would cost $48.33
I can still get double-triple on all veg and sauce for free in Canada, meat and cheese costs extra though.
Trollin
Come to the Subway on Olive Drive in Bakersfield, they load up the sandwiches just like this for no extra charges!
SuperStonyQMUSIC whys that lol
The Mayo is what held the tower together lol 😂
Hence why he needed more!
mayo mayo mayo
"LMAO"
"That should be enough by now?" 😂😂😂
It could've used a little more lettuce
& 2 pickels
Tomato
Pepper as well
Mr. Detroit ...no doubt
But not too many hot peppers
love how he grabs more lettuce from the table rather than the moat of lettuce that is now surrounding the sandwich
This comment has me cheesing soooo hard because I noticed that too.
@@Widderic😂😂😂
I loved how he added a new thing every couple of rotations just to keep things fresh.

Why didn't you include where the studio intro said "here's how to get a free salad at Subway..."?

He places each ingredient strategically, each time that guy is getting pissed he adds a last touch type thing then some more shit.
Fucking so annoying. Why is this funny? I get it. "Some more mayo?" This is an embarrassment to Canadian humor.

Which part?
They cut the video when he´s wrapping it@@mateosalvaje9550
Supposedly in the full clip he throws the sandwich in the trash can right after 🤣🤣 (according to the comments at least)

Could never do this today. It only works with the classic cut.
probably managers at Subway watched this video and decided to change the policy.

Why is this funnier with me being 37 than when I was 13? I'm going backwards.
